Best Team Setup

[atenza]

For Team vs. Team duels what do you think is the best 2v2 or 3v3 option?
:brainiac:
IMO it would be:

Bowzon + Hammerdin

or

Necro + Bowzon + Hammerdin

[OCAU_MIKLE]

Assuming its not "BM" then i say something like Trapper, WWBarb, FoH Pally, Psn Necro would fend quite well.

[IceOne]

I think that a FOH pala and a Smite Pala would probably be a nice mix.

[RetroStar]

Try searching this up if you want opinions. I've seen this question asked like a few hundred times.

[atenza]

did the search, didn't really find anything usefull for a few pages. . .

Anyhow to stimulate some interest, another team setup that my friend and I are building now is the
Infinity light/ES/nova sorc and a Block/ES Orb Sorc

This team setup should make it almost impossible for anyone to sorb either one of us. (the main reason being ravens and wisps take up the same slot.)

Only a strong foher or wind druid can pose any problems I would think...

[mclarke]

i would reccomend a nec over the light sorc cos then the nec can block as well, cast lower resist which reduces resists by a fair amount and will work well with orb.
shame you need to use 6 skill points to reach lr then 20 more to max it making 26 overall (athough you do get decrepify which can be VERY useful.

:laugh: bowazon with a support pala will make a pretty mean setup i think

You don't max lr on a necro, actually 1 point is enough, since w/ all the +skills it will get to like lvl 18 or so... and already at this point it will have begun to get dimishing returns, read more about this in the necro forum.:thumbsup:

[sorceressgod]

if its a 4 char team...

these gfg chars will own: hammerdin x4.

put them in a nice formation and u have a nice soccer team lol.

[Mexicab]

The best ive seen in a 3v3 is:
BvC
Infinity/nova/es sorc
Hammerdin
The Bvc and the nova sorc will catch you if your try to run and the hammerdin will provide a good defense for your team. But of course the chars i was were godly....12k life bvc

[jake007]

12k.. Life?

[the gopher]

That's pretty high.
I would think for 3 I would take a bvc hammer and full charger.

[MaG_Thunder]

i'd take bowzon w/ faith and a hammerdin. shoot arrows, anyone tries to kill bowzon, big barrage of hammers surround zon from the hammerdin

[atenza]

3x or 2x bowzons and a bva using leap w/ a shield up. . . Nobody can approach safely which means trying to outsnipe 3 or 2 bowzons w/ bo... (maybe two bowzons can use WINDFORCE hehehe and one stick w/ faith) I mean everyone will have knockback so approaching this group should be difficult theoretically. :brainiac:

OR WHEN PEOPLE GET CLOSE STRAFE HAHAHAHAHA.

its just i've seen this done before and it was hilarious. Three bowzons teamed a pair of hdins and a windy . . Only problem was their AR but it was ridiculous damage at a ridiculous rate. 1094104310471 arrows flying about w/ higher damage then guided... The amount of knockback is also insane:jig:

[NewForumBloke]

I too am curious how 12k life is attainable on a bvc solo... I mean it can be a struggle for a wolfbarb to obtain that ammount and be variable w/o fairly godly equipment. Mind letting us in on the secret there Mexicab?

-BLoke :smug:

[Chanri]

Poisonmancer + Windy Druid + Hammerdin (All have Enigmas)
That would be a pretty mean set-up. OR.
An Amazon with Brand(Bow)+Dragon(Armor)+Dream(Helmet) + Zealot/Smiter + WW/Bo Barb.
---Has to be ladder for the Amazon because all those runewords are on ladder.
Imma thinker.

[HappyAssassin]

12k life...Sounds made up. Really. I've noticed that a lot of people who play D2 have a tendency to exaggerate their characters stats or those of characters they've dueled. This sounds like one of those cases. If you can show me a screeny of a legit bvc with 12k life, Ill eat my words and apologize, but honestly I'll believe it when I see it.

For teams, I find that this works quite well:
Trapper
Es/Infinity Sorc
BvC

You can substitute in a Zon for the Sorc, or a godly smiter for the BvC, even a hammerdin might work, but I think that for team duels a trapper's stunlock and fire-and-forget traps are vital.

Also, a combo that I've seen clan LoH use quite a lot in pubs is Necro + Windy, with the necro mostly using Amp and Prison. If you think a godly druid is tough, try fighting one with hugely increased physical damage. Ouch.

[Speederländer]

The BEST team, whether 2 players, 3 players or 4 players is a team of EXPERIENCED people. The team with the most coordination and practice playing together will win almost every time, no matter what classes they play, as long as they are reasonably well equipped.

[dkay]

barbs can exceed 12k with oak of wind + beast. but i dont think tahts what mexicab was implying.


zon + hdin + _____

i put underscore because any of the follow makes it gg.

bvc= high life and annoying leap.
wind= good support char with high dmg and oak.
nec= amp and more spam with zon.

personally i think bvc would be best. zon with conc already kills fast, amp isnt nessesary, and the bo and leap is invaluable. together you would have roughly:
-8k ga (higher with good charms) 3kish life, 5k lightning fury, 5k multi and hammers swirling around to prevent telestomp.

-5kish life 15k avrg hammerdin with leap supporting him.

-7-8k (depending on prebuff) life bvc with conc aura (dunno exact damage)

this setup seems like it could kill any other.

[kmk-soldier]

bowzon + hammer + barb

thought this team won ep , well at least a friend told me so...

[sorceressgod]

4 hammerdins would be enough.

[SicHalo]

1.BvC
2.Hammer or something/ FoH
3.FB sorc


1.Bone Nec
2.Blizz sorc
3.Hammerdin

[dkay]

bowzon + hammer + barb

thought this team won ep , well at least a friend told me so...

all i know is that when im hdin and my friend is zon, we clear pk rooms 2 v 6 easily, hdins make zons way too strong. especially since mine uses offensive gcs so i have a much higher conc level than most. the barb is more of a support character but a very good one.

[oneBlast]

bowzon + hammer + barb

thought this team won ep , well at least a friend told me so...

I've fought vs faith bower +hammer with my friend, and thought we aren't that much coordinated that combo was a NIGHTMARE to defeat.

My 6.5k life BvC with 40pdr would eat like 4-5 GA's and die t.t

[Denied]

An Amazon with Brand(Bow)+Dragon(Armor)+Dream(Helmet) + Zealot/Smiter + WW/Bo Barb.
That would be cake for a good hammerdin solo. Chase down the zon and it's any easy kill ( long as you have enigma ). Then just throw up a hord of hammers and wait for the Zealot and WW barb to get in your screen. Then tele onto the WW barb.. 3 unexpected hammers= death. And dito for the Zealot.

[garion]

i would reccomend a nec over the light sorc cos then the nec can block as well, cast lower resist which reduces resists by a fair amount and will work well with orb.
shame you need to use 6 skill points to reach lr then 20 more to max it making 26 overall (athough you do get decrepify which can be VERY useful.
no need to max lower res =P....it should work just fine with 1 pt (with + skill items it should do very well :grin: )

[IEqualsGood]

IMO the best strategy ehre would be to take advantage of auras. If you bring a FOH, use lot's of ele damage to hit hard on their lower res. If you bring a melee with Fanat, use maybe a WF bowazon or a BOTD barb. Trappers would go well with FOH, long as they don't absorb.

[LeegionOnEast]

My Pure TeleSummoner Necro and a Bonemancer once tag teamed a WW Barb and Telezerker. I teleported on them, and when my minion engulfed them, he shot his Spears in at them. It worked pretty well. The Zerked teleported on the Bonemancer, but I teleported immediatly and he got stuck in hit recovery from 33 minions.

[Imbecile]

:laugh: bowazon with a support pala will make a pretty mean setup i think

That team reminds me of the two players I hate the most, sho_oters and il_condannato :cry:

[CupOfTea]

bvc + ele druid and necro bone

+ provides huge life (barb bo + oak)
+ necro cast amp .. enough to say

[SicHalo]

That team reminds me of the two players I hate the most, sho_oters and il_condannato :cry:

^^ :grin:

Well saying this a FoH partener will work well only the other day i was in a pub and a clan team or something were fighting 4 v 1 so me with pala hammer and FoH teamed up and we held are own very well in a 4 v 2.

While the other pala had high foh i still had high hammer dmg and used his aura for my foh.

[ekorren]

ww-sin + ww barb works pretty well imo.
i went in a duel game and there were 6 ppl in party vs a ww barb (pretty nooby imo) so i partied the barb and he bo us in catacombs, and we went out and owned all 6. they were kinda stupid beacuse they stand right infront of town shooting so we just wwed out and killed them. 2 bowamas, 1 hammerdin, 3 sorcs. the hammerdin really sucked so no problem there. and the others was an easy 1 hit. it was fun to own them all, 6 vs 2. they should have been able to kill us, if they were smart. not very organized :laugh:

[atenza]

tried the light and orb sorcy combo.

Strong team but several major weaknesses.

We have major trouble with assasins be it ww/kicker/trapper.

Salvation smiter or hdin and foh pally teamed. . . are sometimes hard depends really on the skill of the foher

Other than that.. the sorceress combo faces little other resistance. *har har get it?*

[Mexicab]

I don't know how he got 12k life you ask him not me...
